Chapter 116 (2/2)
“Then…” Seol Jihu paused briefly before continuing, “…what is the motive?”
The girl was talking nonstop for a long time, but this question irl was omniscient
“I don't know,” she admitted quietly “But for so on my mind”
Seol Jihu had thrown the word around thoughtlessly, but the girl seemed to have taken it seriously
“To be sure, we need the final piece of the puzzle…” She blurred the end of her speech and looked up at the youth
Seol Jihu pointed to himself in a daze
“Me?”
Immediately, he went “Ah!” He had reirl's theory was correct, that man had to be his counterpart
“Oppa, have you heard of this saying?” The girl stealthily changed the way she addressed him, but Seol Jihu didn't otten fully absorbed in talking to the girl
“That if you gather five people together, one person is always trash?”
“I think I've read about it online… Wait, are you saying that I'm—”
“Of course not” The girl denied it without hesitation “I hope that Oppa is a treasure”
“Is that the counterpart of trash?”
“Yes Because then an interesting situation will develop”
Seol Jihu tilted his head curiously
“The three pairs we know about are skewed the sanment of personality”
She was right In terht Face, Snake Eyes, and Maria were elites, but the other three were the opposite The former three also happened to have bad personality traits, while the latter three had the good ones
“It would be terrible if Oppa is on the other side… but if not, then you would be the only counterexaroup”
“We ht be able to find out irl cupped her hands together and continued, “That's why I'm so curious”
What kind of a person Seol Jihu was
“Whether you're someone ill inflaravate the division by playing politics, and seek to use the conflict to your benefit”
Or
“Whether you're someone ill mend the broken relationshi+p, reconcile the division ords, and bring everyone together like one who leads”
In that instant, Seol felt as if his head had been struck by a hammer
“Your Status Window… Can you show it to me, please?”
The girl requested, but Seol Jihu was no longer listening to her The phrase he had forgotten about for the longest time, but one that was etched deep inside his consciousness…
Executor The One Who Leads1
'Ah…'
Suddenly, a strange sense of deja vu crept over hie Stone Rocky Mountain's lake, the kind of wistful feeling siue
Before, he had lost touch with the sensation in a stupid way Refusing to make the same mistake, Seol Jihu desperately searched his memory
The words the girl , counterparts, deliberate, the one who leads…
Finally, when he remembered the Golden Commandment he had seen at the start…
'AH!' The five words connected together, and a ray of light seeh the dark clouds in his head He was progressing without a clear plan, but now, he felt like he found the thread-like pathway to the solution
Of course, he couldn't be sure that it was the correct answer After all, it was only a possibility
But he becaroup
An altruistic person without skill
A calculative person with skill
A cooperative person without skill
A self-centered person with skill
A gentle person without skill
A vicious person with skill
And… a person with skill, who had yet to decide
'So they want me to make up my mind'
He had two paths to choose from The ansas already out there His Nine Eyes were telling him which one to take
When he thought this—
'Can I… do it?'
He finally realized the gravity of the situation At the same time, he realized just how difficult his job was
Setting aside the fact that they were coht Face and Snake Eyes, two unpredictable and volatile individuals, seemed extremely difficult
Seol Jihu closed his eyes to cale head's words brushed past him
[We're living in such a time]
[There is no right or wrong in matters of survival]
[Whether you are a righteous ather under one banner and pool your resources to survive That is the case, even now]
With that, he finally came to a decision Noasn't the time to worry about whether he could do it He had to do it
Soon, his eyes flickered open
'Let's do it'
As Seol Jihu looked at the six people in the group, his eyes glistened like the stars in the night sky
Same time
The 'existence' sitting on the Corrupted Throne tre her head, her eyebrows sloent up The existence looked around the area with half-closed eyes
What spread out before her was a vast space Around Paradise, the planet she inhabited, countless stars were foralaxy
The vision of a God was both physically and mentally on a different dimensional level than the vision of a human
Using her divine eyes, the existence read infores of the constellations
—I…
…Felt a tingling sensation The existence, who had devoured the Chief Deity, had detected it There was no chance it was a simple matter
However, even when the existence exa out of place Well, it did seeether…
But the star in the center of it wasn't shi+ning
Gathering around a dead star would not pose a threat to her
—Hm…
Was she ? She let out a subdued huain
Thus, the existence sitting on the Corrupted Throne, the Parasite Queen, fell into a deep sleep
